CCC Worker Statues To honor and commemorate the hard work and accomplishments of the Civilian Conservation Corps, established on March 31, 1933, by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a CCC Worker Statue was created to be placed across the nation, primarily in sites where they worked. Most of these sites are in national or state parks. The ones listed below have been funded primarily by chapters of the existing National Association of the Civilian Conservation Corps Alumni. Others have been funded by individual members or their family members as a memorial to that individual. Some states are fortunate to have more than one of the statues, but as of May 2013 there were 12 states, and the District of Columbia, that did not have a CCC Worker Statue honoring the men who worked in their state. Any individual or organization that would be interested in obtaining and placing a CCC Worker Statue in one of those states (listed below) may contact the NNDPA office at P. O. Box 602, Santa Fe, NM 87504, email
[email protected], or call the office at (505) 473-3985 (cell phone is (505) 690-5845). At this time a statue and bronze plaque cost approximately $22,600, which includes delivery to the site. Or you can contact Melissa Heidenga at CCC Legacy directly at P. O. Box 341, Edinburgh, VA 22824. Email
